Andrew Painter Stats

Matt Gelb of The Athletic has projected Philadelphia Phillies top pitching prospect Andrew Painter to make the Opening Day rotation. Painter, 20, had one of the most impressive seasons for any pitcher this past season with a 1.56 ERA, 155 strikeouts, 25 walks and a 6-2 record over 103 2/3 innings between Low-A and Double-A. Nothing seemed to intimidate the 6'7 right-hander and there seems to be a true chance that the big leagues could be his next stop. President of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski has a history of promoting his young arms ahead of their projection dates and some believe that he is already sold on Painter with the team primed to compete for a World Series title. This could be a long shot with Painter still working to improve his secondary pitches and the possibility of an innings limit, but Painter is still a name that fantasy managers in all formats should be keeping a keen eye on this spring. If he does break camp, he should be an early Rookie of the Year candidate.

Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter has won the organization's Minor League Pitcher of the Year Award with his impressive professional debut in 2022. The club's first-round pick in 2020 was short of perfect in his first campaign and went 6-2 with a 1.56 ERA between Single-A Clearwater, High-A Jersey Shore and Double-A Reading. He also recorded 155 strikeouts and walked just 25 batters in 103 2/3 innings. Despite being just 14 months removed from being drafted at 19 years old, Painter is a consensus top-25 prospect and could even have a chance of making his big-league debut for the Phillies in 2023. Dynasty fantasy managers should be rostering Painter and redraft managers should file his name away for next year's drafts.

Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Andrew Painter continues to dominate for Single-A Clearwater and is a name that dynasty managers need to be keeping an eye on. The 6'7 right-hander was picked 13th overall in the 2021 draft and has been nearly unhittable early in his career. In 2021, Painter made four starts in Rookie Ball and allowed just four hits and no runs in six innings. This season, Painter has made eight starts and didn't allow a run until his sixth start of the season. Overall, he is 1-1 on the season with a 1.38 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 60 strikeouts in 32 2/3 innings. Painter offers a fastball that sits in the mid-90s with a curveball that has been a strong secondary pitch and a slider that isn't far behind. With his ability to show command on those three pitches, Painter has a bright future ahead of him. Although it will be a few years until Painter can be seriously considered in fantasy leagues, dynasty managers should start tracking his progress.
